What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Hydroid has delivered its first new generation Remus 100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to the Naval Oceanographic Office.
The Remus AUV is able to be fitted with a variety of sensors to aid in hydrographic surveys, harbour security operations, debris field mapping, scientific sampling and mapping operations.
The new generation Remus 100 AUV features advanced technology and capabilities, enabling customers to have increased autonomy and capability during missions. These include advanced core electronics, a flexible navigation suite with a conformal Doppler Velocity Log and an open architecture platform for advanced autonomy.
Duane Fotheringham, president of Hydroid, said: ‘This is an exciting time for unmanned underwater technology and we are proud to play a major role in the market with our Remus line of AUVs.
‘The evolution of the Remus 100 is a testament to the sustainability and longevity of our AUVs and our ability to maintain our core offering, while also integrating the latest, cutting-edge technologies.’
